One day Wei Wenhou has drinking merrily when he suddenly remembered that it was time go to hunt with Yu Ren who was in charge of mountains and rivers and hunting. Although it was raining outside, he ordered departure. Seeing he was about to leave, his trusted follow asked, "You are drinking so high -- spiritedly and it is raining outside, where are you going?" "I have an appointment with Yu Ren to go hunting today. So although I am drinking high-spiritedly I can fail to go for the appointment." Then Wei Wenhou went to see Yu Ren in person and told him that he was in a happy mood and canceled the hunting plan. 魏文侯喝酒喝得正高兴，忽然想起与掌管山泽田猎的虞人越好打猎时间到了。虽然这是天正下雨，魏文侯还是命令出发。 他的亲信侍从见魏文侯准备动身，就问道：“今天这喝得这么高兴，外面又下雨，您这是准备去哪儿呢?”魏文侯说：“我与虞约好今天见面去打猎，虽然喝酒喝得正在兴头上，但怎么可以不遵守约定的时间呢?” 于是便亲自到虞人那里，和他谈了自己现在欢快的心情，取消了原定的打猎计划。 |
